Topic: TC 6+ and Mono (Read 2580 times)

Has anyone managed to get Mono To build on 6+ CorePlus? Looking at the repo doesn't look like Mono has been uploaded since TC 3.x.

I'm prospecting server environments for the processing os for a custom camera system (Remote Controlled Machine) but whatever OS I pick has to be able to support Mono for .Net 4+, including libgdiplus.

I tried building it myself, but I'm pretty new to linux so it was daunting... I got as far as running autogen.sh on libgdiplus then getting a bunch of errors about LIBTOOL not being defined.

..but the libgdiplus-3.12 source has a configure script, so you don't need autogen.sh anyway?

I read in the mono documentation that the tarbell should have a configure script, but it didn't. So maybe I am not grabbing libgdiplus from the right place. I am having trouble locating an official set of release libgdiplus tarbells. I found the git source just fine, just can't locate tarbells on mono's sites for it.

Sorry to bump a super old thread but I can't get this to work either ...

First off, I know there is an extension in the TC 8.x repo but we cannot use TC8 because it breaks intel graphics on older platforms (same goes for TC7). TC6 runs Xorg correctly on our hardware, albeit in software rendering mode. @bmarkus, if you can share your source for this tcz, I'd appreciate it so I know if you are patching anything or using different compilation options than me.

Anyway so I am using TC 6.4.1 to compile Mono. The only dependencies it requires seem to be gcc > 4.8 (needs to support C++11) and cmake > 2.8.10. I am loading compiletc autoconf libtool-dev automake gettext-dev cmake. Using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ and make. The build will always fail on a file in mono utils here:

Any ideas? This is a run of mono 3.12.1, but I've also tried mono-4.4.2.11 (the one that is in the TC8 repo), mono-4.8.1.0, and mono-5.4.0.201 and they produce the same error. I build other packages just fine in this same environment.

Hi nim108I went to:http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/src/mono/and downloaded the tarball and the build file into a directory. I made the build script executable and added an exit statementafter the make -j1 line since I didn't want to install anything. I'm still running TC4 and mono compiled with no errors.

You could use TC8 and force software rendering? If the issue is with xf86-video-intel, use xf86-video-vesa or modesetting, if with the KMS in graphics-, don't load graphics- (or blacklist the i915 module) and use xf86-video-vesa.

Hmm, let me try with this tarball then ... I downloaded the same version from their website. My build environment is a little different as I am building in a Docker environment (https://hub.docker.com/r/tatsushid/tinycore/) but everything else compiles just fine for me.

I don't believe vesa supports OpenGL does it? We are running a Qt app within TC6 currently and although it runs very slow on the target in software rendered mode, at least it works. We cannot get any graphics environment to work in TC7 or TC8 but I guess we can try forcing software render mode.
